You can now use polls in group chats on Arattai
What's the story
Indian messaging platform Arattai has launched a series of feature updates, including polls for group chats and a new "Clear the clutter" option. The move comes as a response to WhatsApp's recent additions and is aimed at improving user control over chats and messages. The updates are particularly relevant in large group conversations where messages can pile up quickly.
User convenience
Polls feature simplifies group coordination
The new polls feature in Arattai lets users create quick questionnaires within ongoing group chats. Participants can vote directly in the chat, removing the need for separate messages or third-party tools to gather opinions. The feature is designed to simplify everyday coordination tasks such as deciding meeting times, travel plans, or group activities.
Poll functionality
Real-time updates keep discussions organized
Once created, the results of the polls update in real-time as members cast their votes. This feature keeps discussions organized and reduces message clutter. Arattai's official X account announced the feature with a festive touch, calling it "a little Christmas gift for your group chats."
Inbox tidying
'Clear the clutter' feature for message cleanup
Along with polls, Arattai has also introduced a facility called "Clear the clutter." This tool lets the users remove unwanted messages locally, without affecting the chat history for others in the conversation. The feature is aimed at users who want to clean their inboxes without deleting whole chats, especially in active groups where media files and forwarded messages can quickly fill up storage and visibility.
